The Family Law Bench Book
The Family Law Bench Book provides a comprehensive and practical reference for judges, judicial officers, and justice sector actors, covering the full gamut of Family Law and supporting effective justice delivery in family and family-related matters.
This Bench Book is intended primarily as an informative and accessible reference tool for judges and judicial officers determining family matters. It does not replace primary legal sources, namely statutes, constitutional provisions and judicial precedents. Rather, it provides a guide to assist users to navigate those sources.
The Bench Book was developed with the support of UN Women Kenya.
